Hi all,
I have what I believe is an electronic problem and I'm hoping someone can point me in a logical starting direction. 2004 Sv211 PCM Excalibur 330, digital starting keypad. The analog (style) fuel gauge and the hours remaining on the tachometer lcd coincide fairly accurately. The tank was about 1/4 full and I filled up at a marina. When restarting the boat the gauge AND the hours remaining didn't change and kept going down as if I didn't put fuel in. I verified the tank was full and continued with my day figuring there would be some sending unit diagnostics in my near future. Eventually the red "low fuel" indicator started flashing and the gauge sat at empty but still had plenty of fuel. During the rest of the day I didn't shut the boat off (about 5 hours). Later I docked it for the night and the next morning I could get the power on and the fuel pump to cycle but nothing at all from the starter, not even a click. I'm new to the electronics of this boat and there doesn't seem to be this topic online (that I can find). The two questions are: 1) could these two issues be related and 2) what would be a logical starting point? I will say the batteries are fully charged, the boat is in neutral, I haven't found any tripped breakers or blown fusees.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!
